Battery saving This is especially important for long-term use of the device outside the electrical network. Xiaomi also has an extreme mode, which is integrated in its own superstructure with the label MIUI 12. In such a limited mode, you can use your smartphone for more than 300 hours.
MIUI 12: Extreme battery saving mode
New version of the superstructure from Xiaomi with the designation MIUI 12 will offer, in addition to graphic changes, several functional ones. These include extreme battery saving mode. This mode can be found, for example, on hikes or tents, where you do not need all the intelligent functions, but you prefer endurance.
Reducing the device's performance results in up to several times longer battery life per charge. The mode will also work if you have a busy working day and forget about the charger with you.
Special mode can be activated in the smartphone settings, specifically in the section Battery and power. There you will then see the estimated difference in endurance in the standard and ultra energy saving mode of battery saving.
We in the editorial office tested this function on a smartphone Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite 5Gwhich contains the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G energy-saving processor. The battery was 85% at the time of testing and should be offered in standard mode more than 30 hours. In power save mode, this value is almost 300 hours.
Limited features, reduced brightness and huge endurance
It takes a few seconds to activate this mode. During animation activation, the smartphone displays specific steps such as lowering the brightness as well as the resulting estimated dwell time. When activated, the customized home screen is displayed in dark mode with the applications available.
By default, the application for telephoning, contacts and SMS messages is displayed in this mode. There is also a date and time display or a button to return to standard mode. In addition, there is a menu to expand the home screen. You can choose several other applications that you want to use.
The smartphone is connected to the internet in this mode, so you can, for example, send messages via the WhatsApp application or you can add a reminder via Google Calendar. However, not all applications from your device are in the extension list.
